Campaign to support the solidarity membership program

Accessibility is fundamental to our mission and values. We believe that all families should be able to benefit from a caring, nurturing, and supportive space regardless of their financial situation — particularly those experiencing periods of vulnerability or isolation.

However, without recurring subsidies, it's difficult to ensure accessibility for all. That's why we're launching a fundraising campaign to expand our solidarity membership program, which offers families for whom a regular membership is out of reach the opportunity to benefit from our space and services.

We are already supporting a few families with a solidarity membership at their request, and several partner organizations would like to refer more. Unfortunately, our current capacity is very llimited without more financial support.

With this campaign, our goal is for one in four families to eventually be able to access our services through a solidarity membership. Every contribution brings us closer to a more inclusive community where respite, social connection, and support are truly accessible to all.

One small gesture can make all the difference — both for these families and for the community we're building together.

Our Organization

At Local Familial, everything is built with families, for families. The project was created and continues to grow thanks to the involvement of volunteers, parents, friends, and neighbors.

Our Governance

Local Familial is a non-profit organization managed by a Board of Directors and through Annual General Assemblies (AGMs). But above all, it’s the voice of families that matters most. The Local exists because of them, and every decision is inspired by their needs and ideas.

And of course, everything is possible thanks to volunteers—people who already have children, jobs, laundry piles, and everything else life throws at them, yet still find the energy to pitch in. (Yes, they truly exist!)

How you can contribute

We’re always happy to welcome new skills, talents, and ideas. Right now, we especially need:

  • Accounting and tax expertise – to help us understand whether, as an NPO, we might save on certain taxes.

  • Strategic advice – on how to grow stronger and function better as a community project.

  • Creative hands – to help with DIY projects, crafts, and making the space even more welcoming (we have so much potential in this area!).

But honestly? Whatever your background or know-how, there’s always a way to contribute.
